Important Safety Instructions
Proper Disposal of your Appliance
Risk of child entrapment
Child entrapment and suffocation are
not problems of the past. Junked or
abandoned appliances are still dangerous
– even if they will sit for “just a few days.”
If you are getting rid of your appliance,
please follow the instructions below to
help prevent accidents.
Before you throw away your
old unit:
•
Remove door.
•
Leave shelves in place so
children may not easily
climb inside.
•
Have refrigerant removed
by a qualified service technician.
IMPORTANT
Your old unit may have a cooling
system that used CFCs or
HCFCs (chlorofluorocarbons or
hydrochlorofluorocarbons). CFCs and
HCFCs are believed to harm stratospheric
ozone if released to the atmosphere.
Other refrigerants may cause harm
to the environment if released to the
atmosphere. If you are throwing away
your old unit, make sure the refrigerant
is removed for proper disposal by a
qualified technician. If you intentionally
release refrigerant, you may be subject
to fines and imprisonment under the
provisions of environmental legislation.
WARNING
These guidelines must be followed to
ensure that safety mechanisms in this
unit will operate properly.
